Legally Speaking, with Bob Mionske: Verbal threshold?
Dear Bob;I was hit by a car while riding my bike. The driver had insurance,but his insurance company told me that while I can get my medical billspaid, I can’t collect for anything else because I chose the “verbal threshold”on my car insurance. How can my policy affect my ability to recover againstthe other driver?B.G.,New JerseyDear B.G.,Unfortunately, it may be difficult for you to sue the driver or hisinsurance company in New Jersey for so-called non-economic medical injuries—whichinclude such things as pain and suffering, scarring, loss of sexual functioning,or even the temporary loss of
Fresh Frischy: Targeting marathon proves a wise move
I had an incredible week between the two mountain-bike world championships. It was very hectic, but I enjoyed every minute of being the marathon world champion. I can't really say I was recovered perfectly, but I had big motivation to give it all again in the cross country. Unfortunately, my race went wrong before it even started. The UCI was too lazy to update the world-ranking list after the marathon world championship, which had a huge impact for me. With my points from the marathon I should have been ranked as the best Swiss rider and started in the first row. Instead, I was 11th,

Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood: Women’s racing; USA Cycling votes; The first couple of ‘cross
Quite a bit of attention is being given to this weekend’s T-Mobile International (formerly the San Francisco Grand Prix). With Tour winner Lance Armstrong, Alexander Vinokourov (Telekom), Gilberto Simoni (Saeco) and Stefano Garzelli (Vini Caldirola-Sidermec) expected, the demanding course should be as exciting as a World Cup event. “Possibly the best field ever gathered in the U.S. for a one-day race,” suggested T-Mobile’s sports manager Herwig Reus. But for all the attention that is being paid to the men’s race, it should be noted that the women’s field stands to see some of the bigger

Hit 'em wear it countsEditor;In my humble opinion, the rule to adopt for all pro sports is simple:You test positive (A and B) for drugs, your annual earnings are cappedat 10-percent of what you are making or $1,000,000 a year, whichever isless (see Especially at the higher echelons, this still allows an athlete to makea substantial - albeit reduced - income from his or her talent. However,the kicker - a second positive test gets a lifetime ban from professionalsports - anywhere.

La Vuelta de Barry: The race is on
After three days of sitting around in a hotel and counting the hours and then minutes until the start, the Vuelta is finally under way. The course around Spain this year takes us first through the Pyrénées, then along the east coast toward the southern peaks, and then up to Madrid. The course suits our team, with six mountain stages where Chechu, Roberto and Triki can shine, some flatter potentially windy days where the rest of us can control the race from the front, and some sprint stages where Max can show his strengths. The team has come to the Vuelta this year with perhaps the
